COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Who Knew 19th c. Cuba Was So Interesting? submitted by sdunav on July 8, 2016, 11:51am Free verse about a couple of important figures in 19th century Cuban history - fascinating. One was a nurse/traditional healer and rebel leader, another was a slave-catcher. Good for both adults and kids 12+, though the stories of warfare are sometimes gruesome.
